Hi, I used to participate in these forums, but then got hooked on quilting for a few years. Decided to knit a blanket for a new nephew, and was reminded how nice it was to knit while watching TV. I live Southern Indiana, in the metro Louisville (KY) area.

Still frustrated that I can only knit one way (continental) and I still hold my yarn weird! I'd like to try Fair Isle but think I need to learn how to use both hands.

Welcome back!Using both hands for fair isle or stranded knitting is very useful and efficient but you don't necessarily have to work that way. I'd say, give it a try and see if another method works for you or use it as a way to learn two-handed stranding.

Hi I'm Linda and just started knitting again after many many years and. I've just done second sleeve of baby cardigan and noticed the cuff on one is shorter than the other is it possible to undo from the bottom ??

My name is Carola. I'm not sure how to post a question. I have started a Debbie Bliss pattern (Cashmere Collection - Cabled Jacket) and am having some difficulty with the instructions. I'm a fairly experienced knitter, but am utterly confused by parts of the pattern. Debbie Bliss actually corrected a part of this pattern on their website, but I'm still having difficulty. I've never used this website and am not sure how to request help with a pattern. Thanks,Carola

Hi Carola and welcome! You can go back to the main page and click the +New Topic button in the upper right. Choose a category (How-to is a good one) and post your question in the Reply box. If you can quote a line or two that's giving you trouble, that'll help. Not the whole pattern please as we run into copyright problems.

Hi, I'm Carol, I'm knitting a top down raglan sweater on circular needles. The top is done flat on circular needles but the body and sleeves are done in the round. The top half stitches (flat) look bigger than the bottom half(round) Since I didn't change the needle size, it must be a tension problem. Any ideas on how I can improve?

Welcome everyone! So many new people and so much experience and interest. Welcome Linda, Carol and Caroline. Glad to have you on the forum.

@cmc and @ceebs Your questions were answered on the forum. Hope the different suggestions helped.@toffeelady10, You can undo from the bottom but you'd have to pick out the sts. They won't unravel the way sts unravel from the top. It might be better if you can add length at the sleeve cap. If that won't work, you can pick out the cast on, put the loops on the needle and work down from there.. See if this video helps.
